we spent the weekend enjoying the sun, surf and sand on Wrightsville Beach. both girls loved playing in the sand and splashing in the ocean. and amazingly, both mostly behaved and slept awesomely. though it's definitely a 'trip' when you bring the kids v. a true vacation without kids, as illustrated by kai pulling his hair out, and a mischievous Ru getting into a baggie of cheerios that was in the diaper bag.
